I just picked up a piece of my childhood, the 1991 Rocketeer 3D comic by Neal Adams and Ray Zone. I have fond memories of that comic so I recently picked it up on eBay (which of course had it). I remember being really amazed at the time when first seeing a 3d comic. It wasn't my first experience with 3D though. That would have to go to the Viewmaster. However it was still one of my early experiences with 3D. I was also obsessed with Disney's Rocketeer movie (which the comic was based on) so it was a perfect fit. Ahh, the memories.
To my surprise the comic actually still looked pretty good. The glasses were made for kids though and didn't fit me anymore but I used my Pro-Ana glasses and that worked out fine. I also tested the Ana-Chrome and Pro-View glasses but the Pro-Ana had the brightest image and least ghosting. The 3d effects in the comic were well done. In most scenes there was a nice separation between 3 or 4 different layers. The art was also not bad. Since it was a black and white comic, it lends itself well to anaglyph and doesn't have the issues normally associated with full color anaglyph. Overall it was a fun read. They should make more 3D comics, the kids'll love them.
maybe with polarisation... (seen a polarizied print somewhere...)
